14. The Time-Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger -- So far, out of all of the books I've read this year, this one is my favorite. It's about a man with a genetic mutation called chrono-displacement. In other words, he gets unstuck in time for minutes, hours, and even days. He usually shows up in the nude during events having to do with his past or his future. Of course, the story focuses on the life he and his wife shared together. It brought up some interesting themes on free-will versus determinism. I definitely recommend this one!

An aside...I wish I could read more. My neck keeps getting pissed off and I can only sit with a book for limited amounts of time. Pooh! :(

I started Time Traveler's Wife but had to put it down. Must go back to it.
